The normal verb "like" is usually, in this sort of construction, followed by an object and participle rather than an object and infinitive.

The action happens sometimes:I like you wearing that hat. You wear that hat occasionally and, when you do, I like it.I like him visiting us each weekend. He visits each weekend and I like that fact.I like you thinking about our conversations. You sometimes think about them and, when you do, I like the fact that you do.

Sometimes, you can use either an infinitive or a participle.I like my mother to cook my dinner on a Sunday.I like my mother cooking my dinner on a Sunday.To me, the difference is that the infinitive sounds like she cooks dinner occasionally, and the participle sounds like it is more regular.

The 'hypothetical/desired' verb "would like" is usually followed by the infinitive.The action does not currently happen (or is not currently happening), but you want it to happen:I would like you to wear that hat.I would like him to visit each weekend.I would like my mother to cook my dinner on Sunday.I would like you to think about this conversation carefully.
